Okay, so I think this game is really fun and has great potential to be a materpiece with a patch or two. Maybe they'd have to just fix it up for the second one. Anyways, here's what I'd like to see:

-Difficulty setting option(guards notice you more & fight better, hurt more) if you want. I personally think it's too easy at the moment.

-Guards remember what you look like if they saw you do something wrong. You may escape once, but if they see you again, they'll go after you again. Maybe make it like 5-10 minutes before they give up.

-Let you go in the water. If the game is supposed to be open, water can be very strategic. Just make sure people who see you say how weird you are and tell guards and stuff, but come on, nobody that badass dies in the water.

-Either get rid of or massively drop the percentage of crazy/drunk guys (they are just annoying)

-Just because you bump a guard who is on alert doesn't let him know you're an assassin. Make him give you a warning/shove you away/punch you and talk smack. They just shouldn't immediately call you out. It's not believable.

Well, I guess that's all I have for now. What do you guys think?

Well. Before any other people say, more variety in missions, but what could you possibly add?
The game isn't set in the days of cars and guns, thus there are not many other missions you could implement into it.I'd like rain and the ability to swim (Y)

I think the Free running could use some tweaks. Also I would like to see the guard attacks more fluently it seems like they all stand around and attack one at a time, which is a bit repetitive.

And yes, I do realise rain would not occur (or not very often) in the desert environments, but the next games in the franchise are likely to take place in new locations.

This guy at Kotaku hit the nail on the head with his impressions of the game. Assassin's Creed is a poor game built on a great engine. Some great points in there. But to touch on some things to improve the game, I'd like to see more mission variety. Pick pocket, eavesdrop, interrogate, save civilians. You can only do that so many times. Better voice acting and more variety in the dialog. "But you don't understand...I'm poor and sick and hungry." I know you guys can hear that cockney accent right now. And easier said than done, a better story.

Improved A.I.

More variety to the missions than doing the same 3 to 6 things 9 times.

I would have put the Sci-Fi twist to be revealed at 3/4 of the way through the game not the first second. It would have been such a head trip if they would have not told you about the world untill closer to the end. Just have some weird glitches and odd occurances with reality occur to the world to give the game a psychological edge that the plot just screams to have.

Yeah I totally agree. It shocked me in the first few seconds... But if they'd saved it until 3/4 of the way through the game then this would have been one of the largest twists in any story.

Cut the Desmund gameplay sequences or at least add interesting and wierd playable dreams everytime he gos to bed.

Make the AI more agressive in combat and make them cooperate with eachother better.

Add more types of side missions

swimming. more varied dialogue from citizens or guards, because i hear "who did this?" or "i wont be leaving home anytime soon" about 10 times each time i play. free-running on top of the crowd, like walking on people's heads and shoulders. that would be cool, since the guards would have to push you people out of the way to get to you. change in environment, acre is always cloudy, damascus is always sunny, and jerusalem is just normal. get some rain in acre or some sandstorms in damascus. and what i would really like to see would be MISSIONS AT NIGHT, not counting that first mission, it didnt really count. assassinations in the dark would be pretty cool, you could get away easier, and it would add a whole new feel to the game instead of just daylight the whole time.

Just more types of side missions and investigation missions would do the trick...

And if they feel like it give the Kingdom a perpose so you would actually wanna go to it...

And if they really feel like it, add a diffculty option in the beginning...

But AC was the best game on the 360 so far.

First thing I'd change: I would pick this up fromBlockbuster for two weeks@ $8 instead ofpaying$60 for this crap.

Second: See First thing, only this time, make it the same for Halo 3.

Third:

swimmingaching546
Word. When I jumped into the canal in Damascus... and died, I thought "this is LAME!" Seriously. I almost wanted to put Oblivion in my Xbox just so I could remember what a good game was like.

Fourth: Templars guarding... treasure chests full of NOTHING! Why? What's my incentive to kill them? Because it's one of the side quests? Neat. Do the flags and the Templars and the Harassed Citizens just seem like Crackdown to you? They do to me.

Fifth: Q: Why can't 20 Guards/knights/Saracens kill one assassin? A: Because this game is ****

Seriously though, why does counter-attacking and combo-killing get me through 95% of all the fights I ever get in? Why not make a world (like, say, the real world) where 10 men chasing someone who just killed their leader WOULD ACTUALLY CAPTURE OR KILL THE ASSASSIN? I know, I know, novel concept. Everyone knows from playing GTA that if you piss off the wrong people or kill a few police, sooner or later the FBI shows up. Assassin's Creed is different -- they send the retard patrol after you.

Sixth: These cities are boring. I can go inside like two buildings. The Assassin's Bureau is about as exciting as a public library, only it's less useful. Everyone says the same **** I have no posse. I have no belongings either -- no items, no skills, no money. If I want to dosomething petty, I can pickpocket a knife. Awesome.

Last: Where's the fun? Where's the mini-game on the side when you're tired of knifing people, or the cabinet full of odd weapons you've acquired from your prey? You can't swim, climb trees or rocks, so, what does an assassin do in his free time? If you're playing a completely scenario-oriented game like Metal Gear or Splinter Cell, then everyone is fine with the emphasis being COMPLETELY on the action. But if you're playing in the [allegedly] living, breathing world of Assassin's Creed (a place that bears a more-than-passing resemblance to Oblivion), then at least make the non-action times interesting.

This game ranks somewhere in between Perfect Dark Zero and Battlestations Midway for me. Maybe it's even as bad as Blazing Angels. I bought and sold all of those within a matter of weeks. I wonder what I can get for Assassin's Creed.

Increase the difficulty, and add a reset button of some sort! I'm actually angry when I get more health or whatever. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Jade say that you couldn't even take one blow to the head. Whatever happened to that concept. At least that would have made things harder. Its just so damned easy, there's no challenge at all. As for the reset button, only because I'm tired of being pushed by a drunk or whatever right into a guard causing him to start chasing me, and completely botching up whatever I was in the middle of.
